Although it was just an interview, and although it didn't require as much energy as the previous tests, most people would rather undergo those physical tests than go through this kind of crazy mental test.
The people in front of Silin had all left through another door, so those waiting for the interview couldn't communicate with those who had already finished the interview. However, Silin didn't need to ask to know how those who had already finished the interview would react.
Silin looked at the teachers in the interview hall who had friendly smiles on their faces, but who gave him the urge to smack them with a brick. He sighed in his heart. What kind of topic were these people asking?!
Finally, the main teacher changed after asking two questions. Next to him, an old scholar with a RAS badge flipped through the information and said to Silin, "I've seen your written test answers. You have some understanding of zoology. So let me ask you, if you were a coelenterate, hmm, like a sea anemone, and if you were a sea anemone, what kind of partner would you find?"
Silin: "…"
Why did he have to use a sea anemone, a primitive and simple animal that only had a mouth but no anus, ate and excreted through the same mouth, and didn't even have the most basic brain as an example?! What kind of partner would he find?!
If one didn't know how to answer, the best way to do so was to ask directly.
"May I ask if the sea anemone you're talking about is a hermaphrodite or a dioecious type?" Silin looked at the old scholar.
"Does a sea anemone need to find a partner?" The old scholar smiled kindly.
"Does a sea anemone have the ability to find a partner?"
"No?"
"Have you studied it before?"
…
Five minutes later, the old scholar finally let go of Silin and put down the information with a smile. He picked up the glass of water next to him and began to drink tea slowly.
The next person to ask the question was a gentle middle-aged man, but Silin wouldn't classify him as a "perverted teacher" just because of his appearance.
"Don't be nervous. I won't ask those disgusting questions," the gentle middle-aged man said.
Silin curled his lips in his heart. As if I'd believe you!
The middle-aged man opened a holographic screen. There was a paragraph of text on it.
"This is a paragraph from AF1's student code of conduct. It's not very long, only about a thousand words. The content is also very simple, so my request is for you to read this paragraph in two languages."
Silin looked at the words on the holographic screen and thought to himself, Sure enough, none of these tutors are easy to deal with. Because, although the words on the holographic screen were not long, the problem was that the order was reversed! It was much more difficult to read a passage backwards than to follow it. The simpler the vocabulary and the more common the language, the easier it was to mispronounce it. This was because your brain had a habit of thinking. When you understood the meaning, you would reflexively read the word out loud instead of reading it backwards.
And in two languages! As expected, he was deliberately making things difficult for others!
Cillin thought for a moment before reading the words on the light screen again. First, he used the dialect of Old Man Chang's planet to read the words out loud. Then, he used the common language of the empire to read the words out loud. Cillin was quite satisfied with himself after he finished reading the words. He didn't pause too mechanically, and he didn't make any mistakes.
"Hmm, not bad!" The middle-aged man nodded and turned off the holographic screen. With a harmless expression, he said, "Then, please recite what you just said. Don't be nervous, just recite as much as you can."
Fortunately, Silin had a good memory. Coupled with the fact that he had practiced reverse thinking when he was assembling parts, it did not take much effort for him to answer the middle-aged man's question.
After Silin recited the passage fluently, the middle-aged man nodded and gestured for the next tutor to ask the question. He then buried his head in writing.
After the middle-aged man, there was a fashionably dressed woman with an intellectual aura. She did not look like she was going through menopause, but since she was sitting here, Silin was sure that this woman was more difficult to deal with than the menopausal women he had met before.
The female tutor did not smile. Seeing that it was her turn to ask a question, she asked directly, "Do you know about the incident with the Bistritt family?"
"I know a little." Silin had learned a little about it from some media.
The Bistritt family was a medium noble family, not some small noble family. However, they were too unscrupulous and had violated the empire's laws in many private matters. Not long ago, the entire planet was seriously polluted because of their medicine production. Then, they failed to take effective measures immediately, causing the nearby residential planets to be infected as well. Billions of people fell ill, and more than ten million people died. This incident was the fuse that led to the Bistritt family's downfall. After the pollution incident, the other families who disliked the Bistritt family or were enemies of the Bistritt family joined forces and appealed to the Mist Bodhisattva Royal Family. After a lot of effort on the three kings' side, the Mist Bodhisattva Emperor finally announced that the Bistritt family's noble title and title would be revoked. Many people applauded and cheered.
"Very well. Please tell us your thoughts on this matter."
Silin let out a sigh of relief when he heard the female tutor's question. This kind of question was easier to answer. After all, a lot of media outlets had reported about the incident, so Silin gave a brief explanation based on the information they had obtained. However, he didn't go into too much detail about his own opinion. It was because he had only learned about the incident from the media. The media's opinion would guide the public's opinion, and no one knew what was really going on behind the scenes.
"... What you see may not be the truth, and what you hear may not be the truth. However, if you really want to give a subjective opinion, you can't say anything without investigating the matter yourself. Therefore, the above is limited to …"
Silin gave a brief explanation. He didn't think that the female tutor wanted to hear a long speech from him, nor did she want to hear Silin criticize the filthy nobles.
Therefore, after Silin's brief explanation, the female tutor looked quite satisfied. However, this wasn't her only question. She asked another one.
"More than ten days ago, an alien riot occurred on a planet in the 22nd star region of the empire. However, not long after, a rare large-scale natural disaster occurred on that planet. Some people said that this was God's punishment for the rioting aliens. What do you think?"
What a sensitive topic. This was to test Silin's opinion on the aliens.
These questions weren't only the female tutor's, but also the questions asked by the previous few tutors. Not only did they test Silin's understanding of certain aspects, but they also tested Silin's character as a person.
The fifth exam of the AF5 tested the physical, psychological, and physical defects of the candidates. The physical and psychological defects of the candidates had already been tested, and the psychological defects of the candidates had also been observed in the previous tests. In the last interview, they would test again to see if this person was extreme, racist, or crazy. After all, there was only a thin line between a genius and a lunatic.
After answering the female tutor's question, the other tutors asked their own questions as well. Their questions were just as perverted as before.
This interview was seriously … the strangest and most unbearable interview Cillin had ever experienced in his life. There were even some questions that were not suitable for children that the instructors could ask him like they were researching an academic problem.
If these tutors were the ones teaching AF1 and AF2, then there probably wouldn't be many normal students in the end. No wonder Bel said that the students of AF1 and AF2 were all abnormal. Even a normal person would come out of AF1 and AF2 completely different.
Silin felt that his interview time was too long. Some of the people before him didn't even have this much time. What Cillin didn't know was that it was exactly because he was jointly recommended by Griffin and Guan Feng that the mentors were asking him questions so enthusiastically. Griffin wasn't the only one, and the Gen Family was also adding fuel to the fire from behind the scenes. That was why Cillin's interview time was the longest.
The people lining up behind Cillin were still wondering if the interviewing instructors had taken a break. Otherwise, why hadn't they called for the next candidate after such a long time? He had been feeling restless for a long time already.
When Cillin walked out of the interview room, he felt as if he had just been released from prison and seen the light of day again. He turned around and looked at the interview room that had already closed its doors. He wondered if coming to AF1 was the right decision after all.
After the interview was over, the candidates could return to their temporary dorms and wait for the final announcement.
When Silin returned, Libero and Iron Head were already there. Both of them looked listless. It looked like the interview was a big blow to them.
According to Iron Head, one of the tutors asked him "How many rocks are there in a one kilometer radius around the interview hall?"
Iron Head didn't answer.
"Are you stupid? Can't you just say a number? It's not like the tutors are going to check it for real. "Huimao said disdainfully.
Iron Head sighed, "The problem is, the tutor added 'please prove it' after asking the question."
Huimao stopped talking and turned his head to eat his fish biscuit.
Although Iron Head was depressed when the interview ended, he felt much better knowing that everyone's situation was similar.
The results of AF1's fifth test came out soon. Those who were accepted would be given a communicator. When the time came, someone would contact you through this communicator.
The five people in Silin's dorm received the communicator. Iron Head and Libero were quite excited, while Teita and Walley were much calmer. However, as soon as Teita received the communicator, he was taken away by the old servant who had brought him here. Walley was also called away by a communicator on the same day and never returned. The next day, someone came to pack Walley's things. They said they were Walley's senior brothers.
What did they mean by senior brothers?
Most of the candidates who were accepted would be assigned to a mentor based on the results of the five tests, and the former students under that mentor would have a "close" relationship with the new candidates. As for the former students under other mentors, although they would also address each other as "Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters", there was no "close" relationship. This was the difference.
Not long after Walley left, Silin's communicator also received a call.
"Are you in the temporary dorm?" The image that popped up on the communicator showed Guan Feng's face. He still looked as harmless and serious as ever.
"Yes," Silin answered.
"Alright, pack your things. Your senior brother will come and pick you up later." Guan Feng ended the call after saying this.
Silin looked at the closed communicator and said goodbye to Libero and Iron Head. Then, he dragged Huimao back to his room to pack his things.
Huimao leaned against the cabinet and watched Silin pack his things lazily. From time to time, he would give some instructions, "Hey, there's also this, the spoils of war I got from Darr!"
Silin took out a crocodile skin from under the bed and tossed it into the bag.
"There's also a rhinoceros horn inside! I bit it off! "Huimao said while pointing under the bed.
Silin threw the bag away, twisted Huimao off the cabinet and shoved it under the bed. "Clean it yourself!"
Huimao had piled some junk under the bed. There were also some carcasses of insects he had played to death but didn't eat.
"Throw them out if you can't eat them in the future. Don't pile them under the bed and let them mold!"
"These insects aren't moldy, I asked them!" Huimao said while wagging his tail under the bed.
The "them" Huimao was referring to was King Kong, Bonar and the other animals.
"I don't care. If you keep piling insects under the bed, I'll throw you out with these insects."
"... Fine."
Because he couldn't bear to throw away these insects, Huimao swept them all into his stomach.
Silin couldn't help but sigh when he saw Huimao's appearance. This cat has grown fatter again...
Silin didn't leave many things in the room. Goryeo drove over in a flying car not long after he finished packing.
"Yo, Silin! We finally meet again!" Goryeo greeted Silin.
Silin greeted him, bid farewell to Libero and Ironhead, and then led Huimao into Goryeo's car.
"Where are we going?" Silin asked.
"To the instructor's place. Instructor Guan is treating everyone to a meal today, so everyone can get to know your little junior brother," Goryeo said. But the corner of his mouth twitched unnaturally when he said this.
"How many disciples does Instructor Guan have?"
"Our instructor has a strange temper and a high bar. Not many. Counting you and me, there are two more, a senior brother and a senior sister. The senior brother is Pistura, and the senior sister is Fu Qingqing. However … "Goryeo paused for a moment before continuing," The three of us aren't allowed to use the Purgatory Thunder Snake K. Even if the senior brother and sister think that they are capable of using it, our instructor still hasn't given them permission to use it. Therefore, you are the only one allowed to use it among us. It's inevitable that the senior brother and sister will have different opinions about it. "
Goryeo was reminding Silin that the senior brother and sister he hadn't met yet would have a problem with him, and conflict was inevitable. But Silin wasn't afraid.
"What's there to be afraid of? Let's fight them back!" Huimao said while crouching on Silin's shoulder.
Goryeo didn't interrupt. He had done his research on this cat. He wasn't confident that he could deal with a cat that could bully Panther so much that he wanted to crawl into the ground and make the domineering giant crocodile Dahl cry. That being said, Goryeo couldn't help but wonder if that old fox Guan Feng had forcefully snatched Cillin away from Griffin because Cillin had this cat with him. It was a two-for-one deal.
Goryeo drove his flying car to a relatively empty area where a relatively large spaceplane was parked. The spaceplane's hatch opened when it saw Goryeo's flying car, and Goryeo immediately flew inside.
"This is Guan Feng's personal spaceplane, but he doesn't have just one. If you want to go somewhere during the holidays, just ask him for one. He won't refuse." Goryeo led Silin into the spaceplane's cockpit.
Guan Feng's personal spaceplane took Silin from this AF1 preparatory campus planet to the bigger planet where the main campus was located.
The three affiliated schools each occupied a planet, but most of the time, AF1 and AF2's students preferred to ignore AF3. It was because AF1 was the only school that had the right to compete with AF2.
AF1 and AF2 were the top schools in the Mist Bodhisattva Empire. There were geniuses everywhere, and geniuses always liked to compete with each other. That was why AF1 and AF2 constantly competed with each other in the open and in the shadows.
On the other hand, AF3's students were very calm. They didn't complain even if they were often ignored. In fact, they were actually very happy. At the very least, being ignored was better than being targeted. Nothing good would come out of being targeted by AF1 and AF2.
That was why AF1 and AF2's students often referred to each other as "neighbors" instead of "AF1" and "AF2".
AF2's students especially. Why did they have to be called "AF2"? It sounded like they were far inferior to AF1's students!
In reality, AF1 and AF2's students received ninety percent of the same curriculum. Sometimes, the elective classes were taught at the same time. However, the most important thing was the assignments given to them by their instructors.
According to Goryeo, life in an affiliated school wasn't as simple as it was in other schools. The assignments you received from your instructors might be to kill someone or do something highly dangerous.
"But you don't have to worry too much. Instructor Guan may be extreme sometimes, but he's very reliable when it comes to assignments. He also pays you well," Goryeo explained.
The students of AF1 and AF2 did not have to pay tuition fees. Instead, they would receive some living expenses from the school. Basically, the students of AF1 and AF2 got their money from two different sources: one was provided by the school, and the other was provided by their tutors.
Different instructors would receive different amounts of money. Some would receive more, some less. Of course, it was also related to the person assigned to the school. If the assignment was done well, the instructor would be happy, and the student would receive a huge sum of money. If the assignment wasn't done well, then sorry, but the instructor wouldn't deduct the student's salary.
Goryeo brought Silin to AF1 and arranged his accommodation. The seniors and juniors didn't live in the same dormitory area, and their accommodations were randomly assigned to them.
It was a single apartment, but it was twice the size of a single apartment at Seven Lights. It looked pretty good.
Goryeo looked at the time and said to Silin, "Let's go to Instructor Guan's."
"Didn't you say you're treating us?"
"Yeah." Goryeo smiled a little reluctantly, "Instructor Guan always treats us at his house, and the old man himself cooks …"
